Old Hickory Steakhouse

For the price, I was expecting a phenomenal meal, but it was just good…nothing special and not worth the bill. The food was good, but not worth the exorbitant prices and we didn’t even order any wine with dinner. Ordered Wagyu Tartare which was spicy, but not overpowering, and the Wagyu NY Strip which was delicious. The cream spinach was far too rich but the Brussels sprouts were tasty, if served only like-warm. The setting was pleasant, but disappointing; the views over the marina and South Bay were reserved for the large party rooms in the back which seemed odd. Would recommend for special occasions, but will not be returning unless the prices drop.

Attentive and friendly service. Delicious food that tastes like it was prepared with care from the kitchen. I can't recommend the duck confit enough. It was a delicious mix of tender and crispy, and apparently the chef's favorite. The one demerit is when the server asked if I wanted bread. I assumed complimentary bread like in most places, but what came out was a twelve dollar sourdough. Pretty shady to not be upfront about price when offering bread. However, the bread was delicious and I did not regret ordering it.

Par excellence in Chula Vista! The Old Hickory Steakhouse inside the Gaylord Hotel is truly a gem sparkling bright. The meal was superb, highlighted by a rich duck confit, a perfectly prepared pork chop, crispy fingerling potatoes, and tender roasted broccolini. We finished with a phenomenal lime panna cotta dessert that was bright and refreshing. Impeccable service and an unforgettable atmosphere!”

Dining at Old Hickory Steakhouse delivers a refined steakhouse experience that blends classic elegance with a modern coastal touch. The restaurant stands out for its upscale ambiance, warm lighting, polished interiors, and an atmosphere that feels ideal for special occasions or business dinners. While the steakhouse is best known for its premium cuts of beef, the menu offers variety of dishes of high quality beyond steak. In my experience, the aged tuna was exceptional, perfectly prepared, fresh, and rich in flavor, offering a standout alternative to traditional steakhouse fare. The seafood dishes are often just as memorable as the steaks, reflecting thoughtful sourcing and strong execution. Service is professional and attentive, with knowledgeable staff who can guide guests through the menu and wine pairings. However, there are occasional inconsistencies, such as slower pacing during

This place was great. We went on a busy night so the host put us on the last two seats of the bar. Rhe atmosphere was good with that great low level steak house lighting. They had neat tables of all types to sit at. I recommend a reservation before coming but they seem to have enough bar seating. The bartender Adam was very helpful! Thanks for making our experience amazing! I would definitely recommend, however the lobster i felt was a bit over priced so stuck with a 24oz steak.
